Crochet Hat with Earflap Option – {FREE Pattern}

One of the most popular crochet pieces is a hat. They are fun and quick to make with the right pattern. Today I am offering my basic crochet hat pattern for free. The pattern includes the option to add ear flaps. Once you have the basic hat pattern the opportunities are endless with what you can make.

The Basic Crochet Hat Pattern includes all sizes from newborn up to adult. You can make it in a solid color, add stripes, or add the ear flaps… can you start to envisions some fun possibilities.

Some fun examples of how to customize your hat

I used the hat pattern to make some fun custom Valentines Day hats. Check out how cute they turned out.

All these hats look different by adding a different colored band, or adding stripes throughout the hat. Adding ear flaps also gives it a whole new look. Then add cute appliques, like hearts or mustaches. Embroider letters to make them pop or add cute messages. You can find the Free Mustache Pattern I used from Tutus & Tea Parties, it was very simple to follow and I LOVE how it turned out (check out my free cowl pattern that I also used it on by clicking this link).

I hope you enjoy the free hat pattern (and cowl) and come back to try some more designs by Sweet Potato 3.
